people as places as people

“ ... To me, those people are like series of rooms. Just like all the places where I spent time. You walk in for the first time curious about this room, lamp, TV whatever... Then after a while newness is gone. Completely. Then there is this kind of drift. Kind of creeping drift... I guess the point of all these that after a while something tells you some voice speaks to you. That's it, time to split, to go some place else. People are going to be basically the same. Maybe they use some different kind of refrigerator or toilet or something.” [Charlie Parker in Permanent Vacation of Jim Jarmusch-1980]
